Heathton Cemetery
Stanstead County, Quebec

From Stanstead take Fairfax Road over autoroute 55. Continue on for a few miles passing by Crystal Lake Cemetery and take Stage Road. Alternatively you could take Hartley Road to Stage Road. You will stay on Stage Road for quite a few miles. You will eventually see the cemetery on your left at the top of a hill.

This old rural cemetery located in scenic rolling hills is the final resting place of many local farmers. It appears to have begun in the 1830s and was used as late as 1963. I think the cemetery got it's name from the large number of the Heath family who are buried here, and this area was called Heathton at one time.

Many of the old stones are weathered and hard to read and part of the cemetery is sloped making for some difficult walking. The cemetery is fenced and gated and maintained by Crystal Lake Cemetery Company.
